TRAGIC
BLACK is a four-piece band from Salt Lake City and is
amongst the most active and dedicated modern Deathrock bands.

The
band currently has a release set for summer 2007 for a brand new CD "THE
COLD CARESS" on Strobelight Records. The Cold Caress
is a concept album based on the story "...in the cold caress"
written by Vision. The sound of The Cold Caress can be described as a
mixture of melodic batcave glam, new wave deathrock, old goth post-punk,
and electro dance.

Whereas
their debut album "THE DECADENT REQUIEM"
with its wildness was related to the element of fire, The Cold Caress
is the "water"-album: cold, but never lacking power The Cold
Caress is a modern masterpiece of end-times-Deathrock with tasteful
electronic support.

With
dancefloor smashers such as "Bodies On The
Avenue" and more traditional Batcave-hymns such as "June‘s
Dying" on the one hand, deathrock new wave dance songs such
as "Sink In" or "Red
Lights Dance", melodic batcave songs such as "The
Garden of Disease", "Blood N' Bones" and "Les
Photos Restent" and more Glam rock songs like
"The Cold Caress" and "Aparicion"
on the other, the band around frontman vISION skilfully bridges this
scene's origins and the today like noone else! And from amidst this
comes their excellent choice for a cover version: „Reptile“
by Melancholic-Wave-Rockers THE CHURCH.

While
the current line up; Vision - Vocals, Vyle - Bass, Seputus - Drums,
and Jesse James - Guitar is somewhat new, the founding members Vision
and Vyle have released various self-released CD's since their inception
in 2000. Released "The Decadent Requiem" on Strobelight Records
in February 2006, and have numerous compilation & magazine appearances
worldwide. Performed many concerts and festivals all over the USA as
well as the WAVE GOTIK TREFFEN festival in Leipzig Germany.

Feel
the freezing touch of The Cold Caress. A tour in Europe, Mexico and
more dates will be announced soon!
